Here are some statistics for you, fanatic students. What you have here is the complete list of cards used during the Archmage Type One tourney in Rimouski, Quebec (Canada). 77 players competed to have their name carved on the local Trophy.

At the end of the tourney, the organizers allowed me to take the decklists. Thanks to Le Fou du Roi staff!

I made a few “Top 10’s”, followed by the raw statistics. Note that I’ve separated creatures from other spells. The number means the number of players using at least one copy of the card. Sideboards have been included.

Wwwwwwaitaminute, Dodecapods beat out Morphlings?!? ROFL!!


By Aaron on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 12:04 pm:

And all 77 players only had 12 mana drains!


By K-Run, the Pegasus Hero (K_Run) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 12:53 pm:

Actually, 12 players on 77 used at least 1 Mana Drain card.


By Aaron on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 01:12 pm:

Oh. I feel stupid. Sorry.


By Rakso, Patriarch & Rules Ayatollah (Rakso) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 01:42 pm:

K-Run: Is Dodecapod worth anything in T1?

The only thing it stops is Hymn in black.


By Matt The Great on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 02:21 pm:

Rakso: Mind Twist...the occasional Balance.

And would anyone like to explain to me why Brutal Suppression was less of an "Oh My God!" than Snow-Covered Plains?


By Rakso, Patriarch & Rules Ayatollah (Rakso) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 02:33 pm:

Mind Twist and Balance merit Dodecapod? :)


By Cuandoman on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 02:39 pm:

If a good number of people are playing therefirearmsareuselessagainstthem.dec then yes i would say they are.
I consider them in my keeper board b/c of the large discard prevalence in my area. 1 maybe (and thats a big maybe) 2.


By CF (Cf) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 02:41 pm:

Keeper SB: Just use a Spiritual Focus or two instead...

By Cuandoman on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 03:07 pm:

What if you arent playing white? (like me)


By Matt The Great on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 04:02 pm:

Well, I didn't say that made Dodecapod good. It's just that you said "The only thing it stops is Hymn in black" and you know how I like proving you wrong. ;D


By BeBe, the Redeemer (Bebe) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 05:15 pm:

Dodecapods are a very strong sideboard card. I use them in cfertain environments and they have won me games. Look how many players used Hyppies, Hymns, Twists, Wheels, Balances, etc. These are staples in many decks and the 'Pod can finish therm off quickly. Don't underate it. At the last tournament I played the Sligh player won a number of games with sided Dodecapods and I needed to beat him in the finals with 'Firearms'. It was scary.


By K-Run, the Pegasus Hero (K_Run) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 06:49 pm:

If you read the statistics, you'll see that the most played colors were blue, black and red.

Seeing Wheel Of Fortune, Balance, Mind Twist and Hypnotic Specter among the most played cards, I assumed the Dodecapod was a strong sideboard option.

Matt the Great : I didn't really put them in order. In fact, many cards could've made the OMG top 10. Just check the Raw stats and you'll discover many "interesting" things.

Also, while reading, I saw some funny card choices.

The funniest ? Some dude played an Allied Strategies in his sideboard. His deck ? Mono-U.


By Burning Ice, the Elementalist (Burningice) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 09:15 pm:

lol. That's great. 4U, sorcery, draw 1 card. :)

K-Run: How often are these tournaments held? And are they all day things or at night or what? Rimouski's a little far, but I might be able to make one at some point.


By K-Run, the Pegasus Hero (K_Run) on Saturday, November 24, 2001 - 11:55 pm:

There's an Archmage tournament twice a year. One in April and one in October. It used to be a 2-day thing, but now we start at 10:00 and it ends at 23:00, approximatively. 7 rounds of swiss, then Top 8. 50 min. rounds. E-mail me in february; i should have more details. ;-)
